Some corrections. Don’t think it’s the Peacock 4612 movement. 9 o clock dial is the second on the Peacock. (It’s mentioned in the psf spec sheet)

AP has the hour counter on the 9 position. As do the dealer photos. It’s either a full clone or a lame 7750. Nothing in between.
If it was a full clone then this info with movement pics would have been leaked imho.

Alll good points, lets wait and see. I fancy adding the blue one to the 26240 green I have on order.

Same. If/when the clone movement is actually released for this, I’m skeptical the blue on the dial will achieve the proper tones, but it matters less to me here since the contrast with the subdials for this model looks so stunning.

I’m holding out for the 38mm versions! It’s gonna be hard. But patience.

(I also wonder how the hell do people wait YEARS on a AD waitlist buying Codes for a shot at a Royal Oak). Same situation I guess :LOL:

Don't know, need real pictures

Dandong/Peacock refers to a legal movement factory in China that produces movements for real watches, and also under the table, fake watches
I'm not sure you can be legal whilst infringing copyright laws.

Or the legit atelier weng that features the DD Patek Clone within. Imagine buying a gen and finding out its a rep movement. Nasty.

Grey market dealers will pull this fraud all the time. Nothing to lose. Rinse and repeat.

AD will definitely lose their entire contract if it happens.

@legend sir could you comment on this release? I'm not expert enough to tell it's gen or not

All I know is that if that is real, it doesn't have a sunken date and the 11mm thickness, the subdial positions look good.... which indicates it could very well be a clone

It doesn't look gen to me from the bezel screws (particularly the bottom ones).

If this is true, this would be the stealthiest rep release of all time!

Maybe the people behind APW are related to those behind Deepseek R1... 😁
There were rumors of a FP1185 clone 2 years back but i was told it was cancelled because they couldn't get it to work

I like the design of this more than the 26420

The watch pictured isn’t gen.
I think the point here is the production of the clone 2385 (FP 1185)caliber. Honestly it’s nothing too exciting for me, this spec has been around for a while. The difference is that they have perhaps cloned the 2385 cal and as price the price of the 26331 builds are going to be a lot less now.

Has it? I’ve only seen the OMF 7750 chunkers before 😮
Going from 15mm til 11mm is a big win in my book, regardless of what's inside 😄

I think what @legend is saying is that the case/bracelet/dial/hands/DW... have been around for quite some time (with 1185 movements inside).

The only thing that this release might bring to the table is a clone 1185 which would significantly bring down the price of these reps.

Aah, thanks for clarifying 😄
